Sun shining, hubby by my side and FINALLY I get taken to Madison, New Change. (wink wink..I’ve been promised for a while!).

Wow…overlooking St.Paul’s Cathedral, this truly is a spectacular setting.

My reason for going, to be honest, was to try Moet and Chandon’s Ice Imperial Champagne. Well, we were celebrating!

This exclusive Champagne is only available at limited venues in fashionable hotels in cities such as Saint Tropez, Los Angeles, London…a very Sex and the City kind of attachment-so I just HAD to taste it! I’m probably the last one, but hey ho!

Ice Imperial was launched in the Summer. If any of you missed the hype (which I doubt), it is a new wine with a new concept. It is Champagne that is designed to be drank with the addition of ice- three cubes in fact!

The concept was created to fill a niche ‘party market’ where in the heat of the summer, people were already adding ice to their Champagne. This way, Ice Imperial is higher in alcohol so the dilution wont affect the quality- and hey presto, the perfect Summer party Champagne! Heaven for those beach club early evenings! Mmmmmm….

They suggest the addition of a raspberry or two, a sprig of mint. Anything that takes your fancy to create your perfect chilled Champagne cocktail . With this personalisation, they have truly listened to the consumer which can only be a good thing! At least you can drink this and not ruin a perfect glass of bubbly!

And I have to say, I’m sold!  I just need to be lying by the poolside in Saint Tropez with my buddies to top off the experience..sorry sweetie!.

Cheers!
